The 2026 BMW X5 Plug-In has 2 recalls, the more serious being an improperly sealed windshield that can let water into the electrical system and cause headlights to cut out while driving.
The second recall involves the instrument panel, which on certain vehicles was built incorrectly and can block the passenger-side airbag from deploying in a crash, leaving the front passenger with less protection when it matters most.
